...August 1998, PoP, only 35, died after a brief battle with cancer. The loss shook Cheiron. PoP had been the studio's musical mastermind, says Zomba's Dodd, and "had an aura around him that made everyone excel." But the industry didn't stop for even a second of silence. The work had to go on. Martin took the musical reins, while studio co-founder Tom Talomaa continued to oversee the business side.

The opening track, "Going Inside," begins with a brief but excellent feedback-driven solo. The track, along with others like "Remain" and "Fallout" has a distinctly Middle-Eastern melodic feel.
